A nice little book. Slight, but fun. It deserves 4 stars, except for the typesetting, which is awful. The letters are closer to each other vertically than horizontally. This is good for languages you read vertically, but English reads horizontally.

The author of these short stories has a wonderful sense of whimsy. The main character in this appealing little book is a charming elderly widow whose culinary concoctions are imbued with magic. Men fall in love with her, remarkable things happen in civic association and library committee meetings, etc. Recipes are included so that the reader might try to work the same kind of magic in his or her own kitchen. I loved it!

A delightful book: I can't remember when I've read a book that was so much fun! I felt like I knew many of the characters in the book. Interspersed within the story are several recipes that sound wonderful. I would like to try the pineapple squares, but since I have teenage boys at home I'll have to wait about 10 years. (When you read the book you will laugh and understand what I mean :-) .)

Both the autor and publisher agree and the second printing of A Bite of Magic is in the more familiar Times Roman 12 point font. Am so glad Mr. Miller enjoyed the content.
